On April 1, a remarkable cross-strait children's performance was held at the Hunan No. 1 Provincial People's Hospital by the Taiwan Down Syndrome Children's Orchestra and Hunan's "Little Life Warriors."

The theme of this public welfare activity was "Unify both sides of the Strait, let love take off".

"I still have one foot, and with it, I want to explore the beautiful world." The poem titled "I Still Have One Foot," was written by a 9 years old child Chou Ta-Kuan.

"Although life is impermanent, each individual who respects and loves life can make it warm and bright," "Although Ta-Kuann's life froze at the age of 10, his love for and commitment to life will continue to grow like a seed towards the sun," said Chou Chin-Hua.

At this "Love Feast," the performances of Chou Ta-Kuan Down Syndrome Children's Orchestra climaxed one after another, while the "Little Life Warriors" from the Hunan Provincial People's Hospital displayed their invigorating spirits through diverse creative expressions, including dance, oration, and painting, all fostered by the unwavering love and support from the community.

At the occasion, Chou Chin-Hua and Zhang Yinjun awarded scholarships to ten "little life warriors" from the People's Hospital to support their anti-cancer dreams, courage them to bravely face their health battles.

Zhang Yinjun reflected, "Through the children's performances, I witnessed the vibrant vitality of life and felt a powerful emotional connection and mutual empathy across the strait, making it a deeply moving experience in life education."
